OL Problems - Sean Locklear is OUT!!!

This is a huge problem folks. David (I SHOULD NEVER PLAY) Diehl is back in the lineup. We have consistently played poorly and lost everytime he has stepped on the field this season. We've DOMINATED with Locklear in the lineup throughout the year. Some of our best offensive games I can directly point to him being able to protect Eli and open up the running game. If there was ever a place to point to in the event we start to skid... this is it.

We have lots of problems ...Dallas and Washington are both one game behind us and we play the saints next week who always beat us and Baltimore after that , we needed this win ...Idk how were going to make the playoffs if we don't get some serious help , are there any tackles out there we can bring in ?

I think the bigger problem is that after Diehl, we basically have nobody left in case of injury

Toughbreak Locklear was playing great for us. Maybe this is why TC stuck with Deihl....hes a vet and you just dont sit a vet this early becauee you may need him late in the season...its a respect thing.

As far as having no one to back up Deihl....this us why we have the BEST GM in the league.

So it should come as no surprise preliminary tests following the right knee injury the New York Giants' right tackle suffered in Monday's loss to the Washington Redskins indicate Locklear is out for the season, according to a person informed of the results of those tests.

The person, who spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because Coughlin didn't speak on the severity of the injury and the team only called it a "severe knee sprain," said Locklear is believed to have torn the ACL and perhaps more.

David Diehl, the starting right tackle to begin the season and again when he returned from a knee injury suffered in Week 2 that kept him out of three games, will take back his spot for the stretch run.

"I'm definitely healthy enough," said Diehl, who battled a shoulder injury last week. "Sean deserved to start (Monday). I didn't practice fully until Friday because of my injury from the last game. But I'm definitely ready to go.

"It's always tough to lose one of your brothers. He's been a great guy for us, a great asset for our football team. It's awful."

Brewer looked good in limited goalline work earlier this year. Wonder if he'll get a shot......ever. After that they can bring up McCants from the PS for depth, but I think they're gonna have to sign a vet in there somewhere.
